Yeah, already got the replacement. I thought about the active but 2 issues were A) I REALLY wanted the Gear VR, and B) I believe the Active is only available on AT&T (I've got T-mobile).

I just took it on the river again, no problems this time! Put it in the Lifeproof case, then put that inside this along with a desiccant packet to help prevent fogging when it wet (thus cold). On the outside of that I stuck a GoPro floaty, and attached the whole thing to my wrist with some 550 cord - the lanyards that come with them are universally terrible.

Safe and sound :D.
